The baby shower invitations I found online weren’t pre-packaged in shrink wrap type invitations either, but they are made out of high quality paper and can be personalized using either ink or computer programs. Sure, they might cost $30, but that’s much cheaper than paying top dollar at some planners business.

This discovery got me to thinking: with these specialty online stores offering these types of services, are individual “boutique” stores becoming completely obsolete?  These boutique stores used to thrive in shopping malls and upper-class strip malls. it used to be that for weddings or baby showers or major birthdays, these boutiques used to be the best place to get classic looking invitations. Of course, because they were “designer”, they also tended to be a bit pricey. Plus, it took time to sift through the mountains of available invitations. The only times you would go to an online store for invitations would be for a children’s birthday party or maybe a thank you card.

Now that the economy the way that it is people aren’t as willing to spend the money that these boutiques charge for invitations. Because of this, online stores have seen an opening to begin offering designer invitations. Most people are not willing to totally sacrifice quality in the name of saving some money, but if you can it within the same ballpark then that’s enough to win the people over. Remember, despite what you might think most people don’t really give an invitation that much thought when they receive them in the mail. It’s all about perception and, in a way, getting people on a subconscious level. Stuff like design and font make a difference, but only to those who are really looking for it to begin with.

So yes, if you’re looking to save some money on invitations online stores might be a good place to look. you might be surprised what you find.

An important thing to do as you’re planning a baby shower is to sit down with the mama (or daddy!)-to-be and compose a guest list. Ask her to supply you with a list of everyone she’d like to invite to the shower, along with their addresses—this way, you’ll be certain to order enough baby shower invitations  and party supplies,  and no one important will be accidentally over-looked on the guest list.

 When you’ve got your final guest list written, it’s time to visit SimplyBabyStuff.com and begin your search for the perfect invitations to match your baby shower theme.  With scores of designs to chose from, you’re sure to find  baby shower invitations  you love…and you can even have them custom printed  with all your important shower information.

Having one less thing to worry about when planning a baby shower makes all the difference; especially if you feel a little overwhelmed!

The Baby Bottle Blankie set makes a great visual impact, sure to delight moms-to-be: It first appears as a gigantic two-foot tall baby bottle, but then opens up to reveal a plush blanket, a burp pad, two washcloths and a pair of socks.
